Built a popular Scratch chess project that checks piece movement, identifies checkmates, and tracks completions with cloud variables.

What I built
This is one of my most popular Scratch projects. I used if-else statements to check whether the correct chess piece moved to the correct square, which helped the program identify a checkmate.
I also used cloud variables to track the total number of checkmates completed by all viewers.
